Family & health

"The average American spends ninety percent of their time indoors, and children are no exception. Today, kids can spend up to seven hours per day looking at screens, a phenomenon that has real consequences for their physical and mental health. A lifetime spent indoors can diminish our children's ability to understand and engage with anything beyond the built environment. It can also have impacts on a global scale. We can talk about environmental stewardship, but until more people make meaningful contact with nature, the welfare of our planet is in jeopardy.

Thankfully, with the right mindset, families can find beauty, meaning, and connection in a life lived outdoors. Now, outdoorsman Steven Rinella shares the parenting wisdom he has garnered as a father whose family has lived amid the biggest cities and wildest corners of America. Throughout, he offers practical advice for getting your kids radically engaged with nature in a muddy, thrilling, hands-on way-with the ultimate goal of helping them see their own place within the natural world. No matter their location-rural, suburban, or urban-caregivers and kids will bond over activities such as-

Camping to conquer fears, build tolerance for dirt and

discomfort, and savor the timeless pleasure of swapping stories around a

campfire.

Growing a vegetable garden to develop a capacity to

nurture and an appreciation for hard work.

Foraging

for wild berries, nuts, and mushrooms as a way to experience the delight

of discovery.

Fishing

local lakes and rivers to learn the value of patience while grappling with

the possibility of failure.

Cooking together with naturally sourced ingredients you

procured.

Hunting for sustainably managed wild game to face the

realities of life, death, and what it really takes to obtain our food.

Living an outdoor lifestyle fosters in kids an insatiable curiosity about the world around them, a sense of confidence and self-sufficiency, and, most important, a lifelong sense of stewardship of the natural world. This book

helps families connect with nature-and each other-as a joyful part of everyday life.

Reviews for Outdoor Kids in an Inside World: Getting Your Family Out of the House and Radically Engaged with Nature

Hunting and fishing stories are Rinella's way of sending out a kind of plea. 'I want my work to inspire people to think about the things that they love, to learn about the things that they love and to find it in them to advocate on behalf of the things that they love,' he told me. For Rinella, that thing is the outdoors; he describes himself as 'an environmentalist with a gun.' -The New York Times Steven Rinella's magnificent Outdoor Kids in an Inside World makes the most inspiring argument for outdoor time I've ever read. According to Steven, whatever your access to nature is, it's enoughSteve says, is enough. Let him inspire and teach you and your kids the most important lesson of all: how nature helps you be more human. -Mel Robbins, international bestselling author of The High 5 Habit I am so sincerely grateful to Mr. Rinella. For many years, I have been laboring to answer the question of how to get all of our kids off the couch and back outside into nature. Now I can just hand their parents this book-an imperative call to action that contains the secrets to living better through getting outside, and having fun while doing it. -Nick Offerman, New York Times bestselling author of Paddle Your Own Canoe A revelation for families struggling to get kids to GO OUTSIDE, or to just stop using the darn smartphone. Steve Rinella uncovers the root cause of the screen-time battle and provides the perfect solution for it. Packed with funny anecdotes, nuggets of wisdom, and actionable advice, Outdoor Kids will have everyone excited to leave the house faster than a roly-poly hides under a rock. -Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent
